'''UNSC Engineering Corps''' or '''ENGCORP''' for short, is a branch of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Their responsibilities include various tasks related to science and engineering, such as surveying viable planets for colonization or [[terraforming]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 123''</ref> Engineers from ENGCORP visit these planets, and make field reports documenting features of the planet, suitability for colonization, and other details that would be necessary for a possible colonization. These reports are then published for command to give the "O.K." signal. The Engineering Corps is credited for discovering [[Onyx]], the planet that housed the training for the [[SPARTAN-III]]s and which eventually turned out to be an artificial world constructed by the [[Forerunner]]s to house a massive [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|shield world]].


The Engineering Corps is credited for discovering [[Onyx]], the massive [[Forerunner]] [[Shield World]] that housed the training for the [[SPARTAN-III]]s.
A number of [[UNSC Marine Corps]] personnel also serve under ENGCORP. Their tasks include the protection and if necessary, demolition of classified research sites. One of the Marine units serving under the Engineering Corps is the [[Hades Corps]],<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Prototype]]''</ref> which was tasked with the demolition of [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Materials Group]]'s [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]] on [[Algolis]] at some point during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]", ''page 82''</ref>
 
At some point during the [[Human-Covenant War]], Marines from the Engineering Corps would make a last stand defending the [[civilian]]s of the colony [[Algolis]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]", ''page 82''</ref>
